LYRICS & TRANSLATION

I am standing strong, I've overcome the sadness in my life
Now I look up and see the brightest sky above me
And it's reflecting in your eyes
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh, something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
When the clouds are gone the stars come out around us, shining
And all that we see is the love, our hearts aligned together
Tell me, do you feel the same?
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh… something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I just love this crazy feeling
It's like I've known you all my life
Je ne sais quoi
Je ne sais quoi, I know you have a special something
Je ne sais quoi, oh… something I just can't explain
And when I see your face, I wanna follow my emotions
Je ne sais pаѕ pourquoi
